A Death in the Family Shouldn't End in a Legal War

Probate and estate disputes are some of the most painful conflicts a family can face — siblings fighting over inheritance, disagreements about a will’s validity, or a trustee accused of mismanaging assets. Left to the courts, these disputes can take years, cost tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees, become part of the public record, and permanently damage family relationships that took a lifetime to build.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Estate Mediation

Yes — once all parties reach and sign a written agreement, it can be submitted to the court as part of the probate process.
That’s common at first. Many families start with one hesitant party — a brief, no-pressure call is often enough to bring everyone to the table.
Mediation is typically a fraction of the cost of a contested probate case, since it avoids drawn-out attorney and court fees on both sides.
Mediation works alongside your attorney, not instead of one. Many clients bring counsel into the process at the agreement stage.
Most estate mediations resolve in a matter of weeks, compared to the months or years a contested court case can take.
